SnowNiner Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Someone told me last night on here that we wouldn't be close to 6 inch snowfall amounts here in the CAE area. NAM trends were a super ice storm and less than 2" of snow last night. Local mets have increased to 5-10" counties just North of us and 4-8" for us. Totals keep being increased. Tons of snow here and still pouring down! Heavy bands still coming out of Southwest GA so the GGEM/JMA/GFS verified for us! Yeah, congrats. All the moisture is staying in SC it seems. Waiting on the SC moisture to break the seal into NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaffneyPeach Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Snow started around 3:00 and within minutes everything was covered. I'm guessing at 5 inches and it's still coming down. Radar looks healthy enough upstream too. The simple fact that all the flakes that fell are still out there...is not wasted on me. I will be so spoiled now. Snow is much better when it falls on frozen ground. Temp is 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The bulk of the precip was not supposed to start til around lunchtime. Look at this radar loop and you can see what is going on much better than on any one radar site. It the whole country mosaic. I usually have it open during events to get a bigger picture. BTW it does not auto update so if you want to keep it current you have hit refresh. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossthread Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The sun is almost peeking through here in Kernersville. Cloud deck quite high. Probably see some flurries or a quick 1/2" or so. But otherwise, non-event here in the northern piedmont as predicted. 27 wasted degrees.......... Give it TIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ruling this storm officially a fail Sorry, but with 6 inches and still snowing, I would never call this storm a "Fail"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It seems to me that the lower totals on the Euro were correct in this area. We had killer ratios in that initial band that made up for the lack of liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 12z nam showing another 0.25 to 0.50 for northeast ga/upstate. There has been a wreck right in front of my house..the second one in a week. The first was a woman who lost control and broke a telephone pole a few days ago. She was fine but she was a foot away from being killed. Nearly broke her tail end off the car. A truck sled off the road a little bit ago and there is a wrecker trying to get another one out.

strongwxnc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yup. little over 4" here. Deck is trying to lower. But I think the omgea lift is going to miss this county to the east..

DaculaWeather Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We're starting to get into a serious icing problem. We've had light to (moderate) freezing rain most of the morning and more on the way. Everything is now glazed over and we're still at 25.3 degrees. Wind has picked up from the NE so we must have a little bit of a wedge going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Czar Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've got a report of 10 on Burningtown as well. Downtown looks cool http://wpfj.com/webCams/ as does Sylva http://cam.thesylvah...iew/index.shtml I bet there are some foot+ totals in highlands. Still light to moderate snow here with nothing on radar. New nam and ruc says we get more snow all day. Maybe we can top a foot? At least that is what i was shooting for. Starting to get spoiled here after two great winter, Awhole lot better than the rip off winters of the few years before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just talked to my neighbor and this is what happened. A wrecker was pulling one of the local police cars up the road and had to stop in the curb because one of my other neighbors sled into the ditch trying to get out...they then got stuck. I just watched the wrecker slide about 15 feet off the road sideways into the ditch! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 12z nam showing another 0.25 to 0.50 for northeast ga/upstate. There has been a wreck right in front of my house..the second one in a week.

A truck sled off the road a little bit ago and there is a wrecker trying to get another one out. wow, i dont plan on driving anywhere today! does the nam show that much more precip from NOW til the end? i thougt it was winding down shortly LOL. i havent even checked a model for a couple of hours. took the dogs on a long snow walk. they loved it! my beagle had to jump, the snow is to deep for him to walk in . we are getting some pretty heavy snow again - not sure if its the last blast before the ice gets here, but the flakes are nickel to quarter size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the models look good but the radar says not so fast. That snow coming down this morning was insane. Hope we can get some of those rates back for a few hours up this way. You really hit the Jackpot on this one. Reminds me of when i was growing up and N GA used to get nailed too along with western NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormsfury Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 .1" ice accretions on everything but the roads at the time (however, I'm not looking out towards the highways and don't care to venture out that way).

kvegas-wx Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Give it TIME My friend, you and I are on a different planet right now even though we're in the same state. The radar trajectories are pointed your direction, not mine. I'm getting ready to enter the dead zone (which is impossible because dead zone implies I already had snow, which I haven't). Not a fail for me, because we really were borderline anyway. But I would have figured we would at least see a flake. Not one to speak of......

NEGa Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 just checked the ruc. it has decent precip in ne and e central ga through about early afternoon. afterwards, there is a finger into ne and e georgia, but mby is just too close to the line for me to figure out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have serious doubts we get above freezing tomorrow as the wedge will be slow to break and probably won't until the cold front moves through. Yeah the models look good but the radar says not so fast. That snow coming down this morning was insane. Hope we can get some of those rates back for a few hours up this way. You really hit the Jackpot on this one. Reminds me of when i was growing up and N GA used to get nailed too along with western NC. I think it's fairly accurate here. There should be continued isentropic lift/over running of the cold dome across northeast ga/upstate all day. These showers have been fairly heavy as well. I think the nam has done fairly well. It certainly NAILED the soundings/changeover and resisted moving much snow into nc. There is now a mix of everything here. Temp 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormsfury Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 They just upgraded Charleston County's WWA to a WSW! with the thermal profiles, I think ice storm warning would be a safe bet now. I don't see much of a chance for much in the way of sleet or snow now with temperatures from 850mb down to 925mb above freezing but yes, WSW is still a good call from KCHS for Charleston County.
